Nick Visser at HuffPost:

Vice President Kamala Harris said her team is prepared to counter former President Donald Trump if he prematurely declares victory in the 2024 election. Harris spoke with NBC News’ Hallie Jackson on Tuesday, with just two weeks to go until voters head to the polls. Harris has been on a nonstop tour of swing states across the nation and has used her appearances to cast the race as a choice between stability and chaos. Jackson asked what her team planned to do if Trump once again declared victory — as he did in 2020 — before all votes had been counted. “Well let me say this: We’ve got two weeks to go, and I’m very much grounded in the present in terms of the task at hand,” Harris said. “And we will deal with election night and the days after, as they come, and we have the resources and the expertise and the focus on that as well.”

Jackson went on to ask if Harris had teams ready to go for that possibility, to which the vice president replied: “Of course.”

“This is a person, Donald Trump, who tried to undo a free and fair election, who still denies the will of the people, who incited a violent mob to attack the United States Capitol, and 140 law enforcement officers were attacked,” she said. “Some were killed. This is a serious matter. The American people are, at this point, two weeks out, being presented with a very, very serious decision about what will be the future of our country.”

During her NBC News interview with Hallie Jackson on Tuesday, Kamala Harris says she is prepared if Donald Trump prematurely declares “victory” like he did in 2020.

Backlash grows over RFK Jr's lawyer asking FDA to revoke approval of polio vaccine

Trump's Health Secretary Nominee RFK Jr Spreads Vaccine Fears: New York Times Reveals Polio Vaccine Critique President-elect Trump's choice to lead the nation's Health Department, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, is facing intense scrutiny following a New York Times report revealing his lawyer's requests to revoke approval of the polio vaccine. Kennedy, a vaccine skeptic who has pushed debunked claims linking childhood vaccines to autism, has raised concerns over the safety of vaccines. This latest development has sparked swift backlash, with multiple officials and lawmakers speaking out against his nomination. Kennedy's lawyer, Aaron Siri, requested the FDA to revoke the approval of the polio vaccine just two years ago, calling it "highly speculative and potentially catastrophic." However, the vaccine has been instrumental in nearly eradicating wild polio virus and is widely considered to be one of the safest vaccines. In response, Senator Elizabeth Warren blasted Kennedy, saying "Goodbye to your smile and say hello to polio, because this is a man who wants to stop kids from getting their polio and measles shots." Fellow Republican Senator Mitch McConnell, a polio survivor, also weighed in, calling efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures "uninformed and dangerous." McConnell urged lawmakers to scrutinize Kennedy's stance on vaccines, cautioning that any association with efforts to undermine vaccine efficacy would be damaging. Meanwhile, Trump and Kennedy issued identical statements claiming that the polio vaccine should be available to the public and thoroughly studied. However, in an earlier interview, Trump expressed uncertainty about eliminating the vaccine, saying he would need to be "convinced" it's necessary. Trump himself has echoed concerns about vaccination safety, claiming that vaccination rates are rising at levels never seen before. Policymakers and healthcare professionals are quick to underscore the importance of vaccination programs, particularly for diseases like polio, which had ravaged children worldwide prior to the development of an effective vaccine. "While in the United States, we're free of paralytic polio, there is still a risk if we stop vaccinating that we may see cases occur again," said health expert Dr. . Kennedy's nominee still requires Congressional approval, but this new revelation threatens to derail his chances at becoming the Secretary of the Health and Human Services (HHS). As Robert F. Kennedy Jr confronts these accusations, policymakers and the public alike must assess his stance on vaccination programs and ensure that individuals holding such significant influence hold no biases or misconceptions that could imperil the well-being of millions of Americans. Will Congress Reject RFK Jr for Vaccine Skepticism? Only Time Will Tell. The road ahead appears treacherous for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. While he can still argue for the benefits of certain vaccines, his vocalization of concerns surrounding vaccination has put him at odds with experts and politicians alike. Only time will tell how Kennedy's confirmation hearings pan out, and whether public trust in vaccine programs, including the vital polio vaccine, remains intact under his potential leadership. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story. #World #autism #Congressional_approval #Dr. #Elizabeth_Warren #FDA #health_expert #Health_Secretary #measles_shots #Mitch_McConnell #NBC_News_NOW #New_York_Times #polio #polio_vaccine #Public_Health #Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr. #Secretary_of_Health_and_Human_Services #Trump #Vaccination #vaccination_safety #vaccine

i just discovered the amazing gift of hozier's music because of hannibal/hannigram. ❤️‍🩹 i'd like to thank my youtube and tiktok feed for showing me fanedits with his songs. this one's currently on repeat.

[character-kai]

When I first watched Hannibal I was bed ridden for an illness that caused me chronic lethargy yet made me so dizzy I was unable to sleep. I was off all my psych meds because the side effects of these medications made my illness significantly worse. (One of these pills was an anti psychotic) It wasn’t very uncommon for me to stay awake for upwards of 3 days at a time. On one of these occasions I had the brilliant idea to start watching a series about a man with a chronic illness and hallucinations. Needless to say it didn’t help that I had also gotten a new therapist.

I miss them so much (Troy and Abed in a show I can rewatch at any point ever)

Stephanie Kaloi at The Wrap:

Kamala Harris isn’t planning to compromise when it comes to women’s reproductive freedom — even if she were to become president with a GOP-controlled congress. “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we are talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body,” she told NBC News’ Hallie Jackson. [...]

This reality means that health care providers face legal consequences, she added, including “prison for life for doctors and nurses if they provide reproductive care.” Jackson also asked if Harris would extend “an olive branch” to Republicans like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, who have demonstrated they are receptive to some left-leaning reproductive legislation. “I’m not gonna engage in hypotheticals because we could go on a variety of scenarios. Let’s just start with a fundamental fact, a basic freedom has been taken from the women of America: the freedom to make decisions about their own body. And that cannot be negotiable, which is that we need to put back in the protections of Roe v Wade. And that is it,” Harris answered.

Speaking to NBC News’s Hallie Jackson Tuesday, Kamala Harris forthrightly said there will be no concessions to the GOP on abortion access.
